Psa 35:21 | NETfull | STEP | They are ready to devour me; they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!”

Psalms 35:21

21 They are ready to devour me; ^{▼▼ Heb “and they cause their mouth to be wide against me.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive here carries on the generalizing mood of the previous verse. For other examples of this use of the prefixed verbal form with vav consecutive, see GKC 329 #111.t.}
they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!” ^{▼▼ Heb “our eye sees.” Apparently this is an idiom meaning to “look in triumph” or “gloat over” (see Ps 54:7).}
